The new modifications look nice, but I am not feeling the angled exhaust.

xcon · 10/01/2007, 11:36 PM

Looks great but I liked this interior better.

I used NX for the Major Components, but since a purge is very simple, i used Zex for the lower price, and i dont know that NX makes a Digital TPS so i went with Zex

The paint on that interior looked good, just only from a distance. I never got the paint just right on those parts, and got tired of them after having that paint for 3 years. Plus, the paint started to fade. I like the black interior far better, but the carbon fiber i figured matched the theme on the outside best.

Maybe he was thinking of carbon fiber and just made a typo. I suppose the the B is close to the F on a standard keyboard...

BUMP new thread with my old parts for sale

gt_02 · 10/04/2007, 08:51 PM

It looks good. I like your car. The carbon fiber hood looks awesome.

eclipsegtracer · 10/14/2007, 10:10 PM

Thanks man

ICEMAN99TURBO · 10/15/2007, 05:45 PM

Looks good, but staighten out that muffler. You should have also went for the 65mm TB as well, no good having a 65 mm opening with a 60 TB.

eclipsegtracer · 10/15/2007, 08:48 PM

How do you suppose i 'straighten out' an HKS Carbon Ti Cat back? The piping goes for the least restrictive path.

I did have a diamante Throttle body, but couldnt find a set of pigtails for it. I found a good deal on a Proflow, which is 63mm, so i went with that. Its not like ive got a Vortech V5 blowing so much air in the manifold that the 2mm difference will cause turbulence.

Hmmm, you found a 63mm that excepted the OEM Cruise control location? Wish I would have found that one, wasn't too happy with grinding and banging in my firewall.

eclipsegtracer · 10/16/2007, 08:02 AM

Yeah banging in the firewall really wasnt a choice before a car show.

Well, you don't really notice it when the strut bar is in place, but me being as anal as I am... I still know it is there.
